Re: Jeep guys, need to know this value
You'll never get $10k with the 151 (8.2:1 compression busting out only 82 hp/ 125 tq, last year used was 83) in there, maybe if it had a real strong 360 you could see $6k out of it.
Post a link on http://www.pirate4x4.com/ - It's the biggest board I've seen for Jeep and other 4x4 stuff, and there is a lot of traffic on the board, Like on here though, almost every real Jeep guy would only use the frame and body, the rest would go.
Check for options to make it more rare.
Standard is a 15.5 gallon tank, option of 20 was available.
Also, I' double check that "5-spd". That wasn't real common, most had the T-4 4 speed, the T-5 was a less seen option from 82-86.
With the optional 5 spd, it may have 4.09:1 gearing, which was a nice option for the turd under the hood.
For reference, the CJ-8 had a 103.5 inch wheel base, 10 inches longer than the standard CJ-7, and 20 inches longer than the small CJ-5. Interestingly, the CJ-6 had the same wheel base as the CJ8, but with almost 20 inches less body length. The modern day comparison was the Pre-2007 Jeep Unlimited.
Good luck with the sale.

old 258's and 232's can fit a 4.0 head, same block, needs an oil return made into the head.
good for 25-30hp just from head swapping

Re: Jeep guys, need to know this value
